Highlights with Arthur - Week 4

Arthur taught us to make grilled Nutella sandwiches - AMAZING!

We managed to make sure Arthur to every professional sporting event possible in the summer while he was staying with us. The last one was a REAL game - on a beautiful night and it was a great game - REAL won 2-0. We loved it!

the sky was amazing that night

Monday we went up to Jordanelle for a little boating outing with the Byers (to celebrate Jadon's birthday and HS graduation). We stayed overnight in these cool bunkhouses and then rented a boat that came with the driver - pretty good gig.

Arthur ordered a kids meal at MacDo's and he got about 3 fries in this tiny little box

Kamryn loved going on the kneeboard and got up on her first try.

I was so surprised that Jared wanted to try the kneeboard but was so glad he did

He also did great and got right up

Arthur was a pro

Taylor was also PRO

Jadon and Taylor were so much fun to watch on the tube

We rented a paddleboard and everyone had fun taking that out on the lake

Favorite Qoute

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous.Actually, who are you not to be?You are a child of God.Your playing small doesn't serve the world.There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us -- it's in everyone.And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.--Marianne Williamson
